Good news for all computer lovers :)

An Apple store is finally opening in Karachi. The store is located on Khyban-e-Ittehad, right across KFC and Indulge and it will be opened to public on the 12th of Feb.

Again in continuation of the You Know You’re Paki When (Part 1) & (Part 2) I now present you the third set, a few objections were raised about the previous sets so keeping everyones feelings in check I have made a few changes. Lets all enjoy them.

• You know you’re a pakistani when you have seat covers in your car
• You know you’re a pakistani when you wear female perfumes
• You know you’re a pakistani when you call all the women on the block either bajis or aunties
• You know you’re a pakistani if you have a bucket in your bath tub
‚Ä¢ You know you‚Äôre a pakistani if you don’t want to buy a printer because you can always use the office printer
• You know you’re a pakistani when you side with a different party in each election
• You know you’re a pakistani when the fastest car is the toyota corolla
• You know you’re a pakistani when you ask the driver to bring groceries from the store across the street
• You know you’re a pakistani when your accent is somewhere in between America and Sri Lanka
• You know you’re a pakistani when you cant look eye to eye to a girl
• You know you’re a pakistani when some when dies of heart attack and you start working out
• You know you’re a pakistani when you’re worried about cholesterol
• You know you’re a pakistani when you have to cover your car every night
• You know you’re a pakistani when all the women in your family buy clothes at an average of 60 / mth

My bad. Quick to criticize but hardly open to appreciate, haan! The city government did a tremendous job this Eid-ul-Azha by keeping the city clean and odor-free. The usual post-slaughter mess was not observed.

Though the point was driven home by hundreds of “thank you city government, you did you job!” banners - it’s not amiss to mention it here. May they keep doing their job! And while they’re at it, how about give us citizens a little company by suffering along with us and not standing apart and above the law?

For all those who feel that the Wall’s Magnum Pure Indulgence campaign was a marketing faux pas, please raise a kulfi bar!

[Read a comment on the campaign by Karachi blogger Zackintosh.]

The campaign has generated only a slight more interest and much more, “ugh!” than the unfortunate “Come to Papa!” campaign by Papa Johns. Now this will teach you who you’re talking to, brand man!

In continuation of the You Know You’re a Paki When…. (Part 1) series. I now present you the next set. If you find yourself guilty of 7/10 questions congratuations on being a Pakistani.

• You know you’re a paki when you go to the closest hairdresser and he wont give you a shave cause of your credit
• You know you’re a paki when you would get your sleepers (chapals) stitched every 2 years
• You know you’re a paki when your socks are stitched from atleast two spots
• You know you’re a paki when you either belong to a family of 4+ kids or have 4+ kids yourself
• You know you’re a paki when the women in your house go to all the weirdest prayer sessions
• You know you’re a paki when you are shy to see mom and dad kiss
• You know you’re a paki when you don’t like a girl because she’s too hot for you
• You know you’re a paki when you love watching girls at the local mall
• You know you’re a paki when your favourite sport is cricket
• You know you’re a paki when the first job you get is through you’re dads reference.

So, that’s how things work in Pakistan. You can mess with small fish all you want, but don’t mess with the crocodile. If nothing else, the police must have reached their revenue target of x million rupees. Now you can safely put those tinted shades and custom license plates back on your vehicle. The show is over.

Just read about the chairlift in Safari Park in Daily Times, which is due to be inaugurated on Sunday. Can anyone please go check it out and tell us how it is? I think its great that the Karachi administrative officials are doing something to provide some entertainment in our starved lives. As it is, we spend most of our waking moments stuck in cubicles or in never ending traffic jams, sigh.

I saw the worst display of order mess-up and bad customer service from McDonalds yesterday. I decided to go for lunch to their outlet at Teen Talwar and I so wish I had selected some other place. Not only they took the order wrong, they screwed up the pricing, delivered wrong order and wrong drinks, and I ended up paying Rs. 75 extra to them because they were too confused and I was not in a mood to start a fight. I went to McDonalds after a long tme and this incident is sure to keep me away from it for many more months. Are you still lovin’ it?

I don’t whether this has been published before or not, but i just noticed it today. They’ve increased the number of those high power flood lights over at Sea View. Now they start from Village and go all the way upto the McDonalds. They haven’t been powered on yet, but imagine how beautiful it will look with all of them on at the sametime. Plus they are widening the road from Village onwards and ofcourse the extension of the newly built Beach Park, it’s about time that the government is capitalising on the God’s gift to the city and beautifying our costal line.

Imagine the view from the sea when all this is completed…..

I just came across this set of quotes titled “You know you’re a Paki When….“. It is possible that you may have already read these but it sure is hilarious and worth sharing with everyone. Due to a large set of quotations, I have selected to make a post of 10 quotes a day for a few days so that everyone can enjoy reading them. If you are found guilty with atleast 7/10 questions - Congratulations you are a Pakistani
